Made in China

[ineedmorehp]

I also used to buy Hush Puppies but not anymore because its cheaply made and quality is no longer that good. Sayang yung Mendrez.

IMO re branded rubber shoes, ang lam ko planta nila mismo yun and may QA talaga. Not an outsourced.

[kinyo]

its not made in china but ...

recently a china airlines 737 burned shortly after landing in okinawa, japan

its a taiwan carrier though so maybe this is ot for this thread

sama nyo na ang LIFEBOATS sa list ng inferior products! nakngpu, lifesaving equipment na papatay sa iyo!

eto ang kwento. dito sa new company na pinasukan ko puro bago ang mga rigs, new build kung baga. so bago lahat. bago oil rig, bago lifeboat. ang ganda, ang kinis, makintab lahat ng "stainless steel" parts. nung una lang. after 6 months, ni hindi pa kami umaalis ng shipyard, may kalawang ang "stainless". tiwala kami kasi ang tatak ay "norsafe", kilalang lifeboat maker sa buong mundo, norwegian company na nangunguna sa marine engineering. yun pala, ang nakngpu na lifeboat namin ay "norsafe, china". as in outsourced na din pati lifeboats! at hindi lang kalawang, unsafe pa. launch namin ang isa 2 weeks ago, ayun muntik na pumatay ng tao. naputol ang "stainless steel" pin ng release mechanism nung i-raise na sana ulit sa davits. buti na lang wala pa 1 meter ang inakyat at hindi nasaktan mga tao sa loob. ngayon grounded lahat ng lifeboats namin, i-inspect lahat ng release mechanisms.

dami pa iba. mga "trouble free" vacuum toilet system na "free trouble" pala. eto yung kagaya sa eroplano na pag ni-flush mo e "swoooosh" bye-bye ebak tapos sasakit konti ang eardrums mo dahil sa vacuum. araw-araw kawawa ang motorman ko, average 7 toilets ginagawa nya. naubos na spares sa warehouse na good for 2 years operation, e wala pa nga kami sa operation. order ako ngayon ng sandamukal na toilet system parts. pati ang treatment plant sakit sa ulo, made in china din. hydraulic hoses na kala namin made in US kasi galing sa supplier sa houston, tatak US lang pala made in china din. pressure testing at 2x ng SWP, putok. e dapat ang burst pressure 5x, e 2x pa lang sabog na. mga smoke/heat detectors na puro false alarm. wala na nga naniniwala sa fire alarm dito. tinutulugan ko na lang pag may fire alarm, 10x a day ba naman tutunog e.


di bale, lilipat na ako ulit ng company. mahirap na baka ako matoka magtest ng lifeboat e maging kabaong ko pa ang lintek na made in china na mga yun. sana pumasa sa interview!

hahahahaaaha! sobrang nakakatawa yung kwento mo ha.

Hindi kaya fake na Norsafe yung kinuha ng procurement nyo? The reason why I like european products is because sobrang bihira sila mag-China lalo na ang Germany. Pag ang gamit or bagay, Made in Germany, at may dala akong pambili, usually bibilhin ko kahit di ko kailangan for some reason. hehe.

[nicolodeon]

Yung Mendrez ko, mag two years na ok pa din. Ako na ang sumuko. Siguro hndi pa sya china nung binili ko. Matignan nga.

Eh pano yung mga Nike, Adidas at iba pang mga signature shoes na sapatos natin? Mga China yun?

AFAIK, oo. May tag naman dun sa dila/inside wall ng shoes. Yung Adidas ko na Barricade na binile ko sa Adidas mismo, Made in China. Yung Air Huarache(?) ko, AFAIK Made in China din. Dati, yung mga nabibili ko na Asics eh made in Korea pero I think may Asics na made in China na din.

[FrankDrebin]

basta ako as much as possible di me bumibili ng gawang intsik.mas ok pa kung made in pinas.

Hirap niyan Bro. Hindi gagana ang PC mo kapag nag-boycott ka ng mga Chinese-made products. Hehehe.

Another update...

Saudi Arabia says finds toxic Chinese toothpaste

Reuters

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia has removed from shop shelves seven brands of Chinese toothpaste found to have a poisonous chemical in them, the government said on Thursday.

A statement on the Ministry of Trade and Industry's Web site said tests had shown traces of diethylene glycol, used in coolants and solvents but too toxic for food and medicine.

It said officials have been ordered to remove the toothpaste from shops and destroy the samples, and asked consumers to inform the ministry of any products found on sale.

All Chinese toothpastes must now undergo tests before going on the market in Saudi Arabia, which has a population of over 24 million, the statement said, adding the tests that uncovered the toothpaste were part of routine checks on food and medicine.

China has recently been criticized for safety lapses involving food, drugs and other exports ranging from toys to clothes to toothpaste.

Chinese officials say the vast majority of the country's exports meet standards and have pointed to quality problems in US exports.

Wal-Mart: Melamine in dog treats

* "Very small amounts of melamine found," company spokeswoman says
* Customers who bought the products can return them for a refund, Wal-Mart says
* Wal-Mart pulls jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading, Pingyang Pet Product Co.
* Food tainted with melamine led to the recall of more than 150 brands of pet food

One of the reasons for this trade war between the US and China is the latter's refusal to allow its currency to be dictated by market demands. Like Malaysia and HK, the renmenbi is pegged or have a fixed exchange rate against the US dollar.

not true anymore....late last year they changed their policy already, from 1$=8.26rmb for more than 10years, it is now floating, as of now itis 7.55rmb=1$, and still appreciating...although it can't be denied that the US is now exerting its power over china to get what it wants, the US is still the market with the largest purchasing power...

[Horsepower]

Di na ako bumibili ng China made goods as of now. Dito sa KSA, usually, either made in USA or Canada or Europe ang mga foods and supplies. Lately lang daw pumasok mga China.

Ang mura dito ng Giordano, 2000 pesos lang per jeans. Sana hindi made in China, may Formalin daw mga fabrics galing CHina accdg to European findings.

[KCboy]

actually giordanos are either made in hongkong or in china...hope you'll still buy giordano.

[Horsepower]

hmm. Any other country Giordanos are made from? Medyo nakakatakot ngayon bumili ng galing sa china e. May high concentration daw of Formalin

bought some wrinkle-free Docker's pants in the Dockers boutique back there in the Phils last June sana hindi made in China. Ang sarap sa hita e, masyadong comfortable. I'm not really fond of branded clothes but ever since my uncle sent me a box of dockers pants and shoes, i learned to love their products. I think the price is worth it.

Anyway, bakit naman kaya may formalin mga china-made fabrics? And what are these clowns thinking putting coolant chemicals in toothpastes? for the mint feeling in the mouth?

[VtEC]

Hirap niyan Bro. Hindi gagana ang PC mo kapag nag-boycott ka ng mga Chinese-made products. Hehehe.

he he he he...kaya nga hanggat maari lang.

Ui, Made in the Philippines pa rin ang Mendrez. Nag check ako kanina sa tindahan sa Trinoma. Ung mga Bench at Penshoppe pala na damit, Made in the Philippines pa rin pala. Mas mahal lang nga sa Chinese made counterparts.

[NightWinger]

Yun mga pork meat daw galing sa US may Paylean! Safe kaya to kainin?

[jpdm]

Hay salamat naman....thanks for the info. Its obvious naman mas mahal ang Philippine made sa China made. WE got quality!

Hirap kasi sa iba nating mga Pinoy businessman profit lang nasa isip kaya ibis na kumita lalong nasisira dahil they are cutting corners. they are passing off made in china goods as philippine made or foreign made.

As I said before, 3D-the quality you can trust daw, is now made even better ay hindi totoo kasi, mahuna na ang mga appliances nila. Puro made in china. Sayang, one of the few local companies who were able to build their name and survived in a Japanese brand dominated philippine home appliances market.

Local manufacturers such as Hanabishi, Standard, Marubishi are still local. Sana Concepcion-Condura, the best selling local super brand aircon in the pHilippines should not resort to the same wrong paradigm of going china made.

Some auto parts now are peke na rin na made in China. Korean made nga mahuna na china pa. Philippine made ok pa.

[BlueBimmer]

dealer kme ng 3D and other philippine brand appliances, so far super bihira lang may nagcclaim ng warranty..so i would'nt declare outright bulok ang 3D

now other brands na made in china like Hometech or Ariston yun ang mga walang quality control at dami defect sa amin

[ineedmorehp]

^ mas gusto ko pa philippine brand (in some cases). you pay premium for the quality.. pero isa ko pa napansin mas maganda gawang taiwan kesa sa china...

[badkuk]

imho, 3D and Standard appliances are quite durable...re their sales...afaik, me family problems ata kaya medyo di naasikaso ung business

[jpdm]

anyway, what is important is that the Philippines has its own brand to claim as its own.

3D, Standard, Hanabishi, Marubishi, Asahi, Union, Promac, Electown, La Germania, Condura are some of the well known and durable local appliances brand in our country. They are alot cheaper that foreign brands but with the same quality. But of course, more expensive that their Chinese counterparts.

By the way, as I said earlier in this thread, the Philippines is also good in quality leather, food and garments.

Mendrez, Rusty Lopez, Janylin, Figlia are well-known quality (genuine handmade Marikina brands.kaya matibay)local brands. Local brand ang World Balance, W.Brown, Accel kaya lang manufactured in China.

Penshoppe, Bench, Oxygen, Company B are local brands.

San Miguel, RFM, CDO. food. Jollibee, Barrio Fiesta, Goldilocks, Pancake.

Del Monte Brand in Asia-Pacific is technically owned by Filipinos.

Even the "dugyut" jeepney, local backyard made AUVs, and the macho AMD hummer are all built to last.

Anyway, beware of Jollibee's and McDonald' s happymeal toys--they are all made in China.Di magtatagal may madisgrasya sa mga laruan na gawa sa China mula sa mga fastfoods na ito. Paging, pagkain na lang ang ibigay nyo wag laruan.

[pup2]

AFAIK may cycle talaga ang industrial power. Una, wala o halos wala (gaya natin) tapos murang pangit ang quality (hey, you gotta start somewhere eh noong araw bulok din ang products galing Japan, Taiwan, at Korea) tapos unti-unting gumaganda ang quality. Finally, nagiging high-tech na at tumataas na din ang presyo.


Nasa pangalawang stage pa lang ang China IMO pero with their predilection for the stage tingin ko medyo magtatagal-tagal sila doon. Ang may problema tayo dahil ni wala pa tayo doon.
